Noise cruising at 60mph on a road open enough to do 60mph ≠ noise accelerating hard through a built up environment.
My current and last bikes (Duke 390 and Virago 250) have been reasonably quiet and it doesn’t really bother me.
With the Duke the only exhaust that didn’t lose you power was the extortionate Akra and was like £900 for a 3hp increase! I decided I’d rather keep my £££ and my bhp.
